The apartheid government retained some of the traces of this earlier socialism, but you'll never hear about it because history has been re-written to cast the Left as having always been what it is now (for "people of color" and against "The Man"). But this wasn't always so.
Those of British descent can often emigrate to the U.K. and othe Commonwealth nations. Indians and Jews have options to return to their ancestral homelands. The Afrikaners are too long removed from the Netherlands (and have considerable German and French ancestry). Other countries, including the U.S., are loathe to accept white refugees due to multiculturalism and white guilt.
The U.S. would be the best fit for the Afrikaners, as the European descended population represents every nation on the ancestral continent. Like the Amish and Mennonites, they would easily fit into rural areas like Indiana or upstate New York where farms once tended by the descendants of early settlers have been abandoned. But this will never happen, even if the GOP recaptures the White House in 2016.
“Racial aspects aside, if a group of people set up a colony amid a group with a different language and culture and treated them brutally for years; would the default be that they had some right to continue on with their lives and property and culture intact after the tables had turned?”
Note the phrase - “after the tables had turned”.
Do the Turks have a “right” to Anatolia, formerly populated by Greek speaking Byzantines? I don’t think they have any inherent right to it OTHER THAN - that they are in cultural, political, and military control. If a Greek speaking and Greek descended population became dominant again in the region, I would advise the Turks to get the hell out A.S.A.P.. Would I think the Greeks had a “right” to take over Anatolia again? No. But if they did, I wouldn’t think the Turks had the “right” to maintain cultural, economic, religious, or military control.
Unfortunately, Americans are following the suicidal example of those African countries thanks to blatantly anti-white policies such as affirmative action, multiculturalism, and unrestricted third world immigration.
So following your reasoning, all US whites should leave North America and return to their European homelands, because our ancestors "set up a colony amid a group with a different language and culture" (various Indian tribes)?
When Obama was elected and started his "transform America" talk I posted here that the anti-Americans who power and fund the Left had decided they no longer needed to hide their subversive agenda. I guess they figured they'd indoctrinated enough young skulls full of mush to overpower any traditionalist opposition. We'll see.
Have the tables turned as far as who is in cultural, religious, economic and military control of these United States?
No. They have not.
We would no more have the right to maintain such control after the tables had turned as the Native Americans had the right to keep North America as the last great refuge of nomadic and horticultural society after a more productive and more efficient and effective way of life came to these shores and REPLACED them.
Furthermore, many Afrikaaners settled land that was basically unoccupied. Neither Xhosas nor Zulus were in the western region of the African cape until Afrikaaners introduced the agriculture and infrastructure to make it habitable. So ironically, many of the white south Africans have deeper roots on their land than the Xhosa squatters, at least in the western part of the country.
Leave it to the natives; move back in when they’ve starved and killed each other off.
Unfortunately, the Afrikaners did not restrict immigration into their country after they gained their ascendancy. The United States, Western Europe, Israel, etc., should take note. Short term profit from cheap labor outweighed long term security considerations.
Orbison is only one town of Afrikaners only. Wh
ere are OTHERS?
Orbison?
